Rosemary Clooney at Some Of Her Best

02/17/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"LASERLIGHT's "Some Of The Best...More Of The Best" series is one of the best product lines of their vast (and I do mean vast) and varied catalogue of budget titles. Already a plethora of titles in existence, the Rosemary Clooney is particulalry fine if you cannot find the original sources of these recordings (and in most cases you can't). The disc provides a survey of some of her best work, not in chronological order, but in listening-flow sequence. This is the next best recording to get until SONY decides to issue her classic Percy Faith sessions (on this CD "Mixed emotions") and BMG/RCA issue the incredible duet album, a "Living Stereo" recording, by the way, with Bing Crosby (properly represented on this CD with "On a slow boat to China"), although I am assuming they have not done so. At any rate, I have not come across these full albums on CD. Good work LASERLIGHT. Please give us more of" Some ofThe" and "More of The Best"!"
